Meet Our Team
MKFM is independently run by over 25 presenters and online contributors and our core management team below:
Darren Dorrington - Chief Executive
Darren brings a wealth of experience to MKFM and has led our team since MKFM’s early test broadcasts to our DAB launch in 2013 and FM during 2015.
As our CEO, Darren is responsible for the stations on-air and online output as well as ensuring we maintain our key commitments and community objectives.
Darren strongly believes in a 'One Station, One Community' approach, which means MKFM reaches and makes a fundamental difference to everyone in our area through our various platforms.
